Airbag system
position must always be maintained with
seat
belt
s fastened while travelling.
● In a side-on collision the side airbags will
not work
if the sensors do not correctly meas-
ure the pressure increase on the interior of
the doors, due to air escaping through the
areas with holes or openings in the door pan-
el.
● Never drive if the interior door panels have
been remov
ed or if the panels have not been
correctly fitted.
● Never drive the vehicle if the loudspeakers
in the door panels
have been removed, un-
less the holes left by the loudspeakers have
been closed properly.
● Always check that the openings are closed
or cov
ered if loudspeakers or other equip-
ment are fitted inside the door panels.
● Occupants of the outer seats must never
carry
any objects or pets in the deployment
space between them and the airbags, or al-
low children or other passengers to travel in
this position. It is also important not to at-
tach any accessories (such as cup holders) to
the doors. This would impair the protection
offered by the side airbags.
● The built-in coat hooks should be used only
for lightweight
clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
● Great forces, such as hard blows or kicks,
must
not be exerted upon the backrest bol-
ster because the system may be damaged. In
this case, the side airbags would not be trig-
gered. ●
Under no cir c

umstances should protective
covers be fitted over seats with side airbags
unless the covers have been approved for use
in your vehicle. Because the airbag deploys
from the side of the backrest, the use of con-
ventional seat covers would obstruct the side
airbag, seriously reducing the airbag's effec-
tiveness.
● Any damage to the original seat upholstery
or around the se
ams of the side airbag units
must be repaired immediately by a special-
ised workshop.
● The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; r
eplace them once they have de-
ployed.
● Any work on the side airbag system or re-
mova
l and installation of the airbag compo-
nents for other repairs (such as removal of
the front seat) should only be performed by a
specialised workshop. Otherwise, faults may
occur during the airbag system operation.
● Do not attempt to modify components of
the airbag sys
tem in any way. Curtain airbags*

 page 18. WARNING
● In order for the head-protection airbags to
pro v

ide their maximum protection, the pre- scribed sitting position must always be main-
tained w
ith se

at belts fastened while travel-
ling.
● For safety reasons, the curtain airbag must
be disab
led in those vehicles fitted with a
screen dividing the interior of the vehicle.
See your technical service to make this ad-
justment.
● There must be no other persons, animals or
obj
ects between the occupants of the outer
seats and the deployment space of the head-
protection airbags so that the head-protec-
tion airbag can deploy completely without re-
striction and provide the greatest possible
protection. Therefore, sun blinds which have
not been expressly approved for use in your
vehicle may not be attached to the side win-
dows
● The built-in coat hooks should be used only
for lightweight
clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
Please, do not hang the clothes on coat hang-
ers.
● The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; r
eplace them once they have de-
ployed.
● Any work on the head-protection airbag
syst
em or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as re-
moval of the roof lining) should only be per-
formed by a specialised workshop. Other-
wise, faults may occur during the airbag sys-
tem operation.
● Do not attempt to modify components of
the airbag sys
tem in any way. » 79

table on page 2 Depending on the equipment, the vehicle
ma
y

have the Keyless Access system.
Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-
tion system to unlock and lock the vehicle
without actively using its key. For this, all that
is required is for a valid vehicle key to be in
an area near the vehicle ››› Fig. 130 and one
of the sensor surfaces on the door handles to
be touched ››› Fig. 131 ››› .
The v
ehic

le can be unlocked and locked via
the front doors only. When doing so, the re-
mote control key must be no further than ap-
prox. 1.5 m from the door handle.
It does not matter where you carry the key, for
instance whether it is in your jacket pocket or
in a briefcase.
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened again immediately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the corresponding door or the entire ve-
hicle. The necessary adjustments can be per-
formed in vehicles with a driver information
system ›››
 page 27.
General information
If a valid key is located in the proximity of the
car ››› Fig. 130, the Keyless Access lock and
ignition system gives the key entry as soon
as one of the sensor surfaces on the door handles is touched. The following features
are then avai

lable without having to use the
vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unloc
king the vehicle using
the handles of the front doors or the soft-
touch/handle on the rear lid.
● Keyless-Exit: lockin
g the vehicle using the
sensor of the driver or passenger door han-
dle.
● Press & Drive: keyle
ss starting of the en-
gine with the starter button ››› page 167.
The central locking and locking systems oper-
ate in the same way as a normal locking and
unlocking system. Only the controls change.
Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double flash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash.
If the vehicle is locked and then all doors and
the rear lid are closed leaving the last key
used inside the vehicle and none outside,
the vehicle will not lock immediately. All the
vehicle's indicator lights will flash four times.
The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if you fail to open any door or the rear
lid.
If you unlock the vehicle but fail to open any
door or the rear lid, the vehicle will lock again
after a few seconds.

s

sed.
Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensors on
the passenger doors are automatically disa-
bled.
If one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in a unusual manner
with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bush rubbing against it), all proximity sensors are disabled for a certain period of
time.
Sensors

will again be enabled:
● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton  on the key.
● OR: if the rear lid is open.
● OR: if

the vehicle is unlocked manually with

s will close. Note
● If the v

ehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, you will probably not be able
to lock or unlock the vehicle with the Keyless
Access system. The vehicle can be unlocked
or locked manually ››› page 87.
● To control the proper locking of the vehicle,
the rele
ase function is disabled for approx. 2
seconds.
● If the message Keyless access system
faulty is di

splayed on the screen of the
dash panel, abnormalities may occur in the
operation of the Keyless Access system. Con-
tact a specialised workshop. SEAT recom-
mends visiting a SEAT dealership for this.
● Depending on the function set on the info-
tainment sy
stem for the mirrors, the exterior
mirrors will unfold and the surround lighting
will come on when unlocking the vehicle us-
ing the sensor surface on the driver and pas-
senger door handles ››› page 141.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case). ●
If the sen sor

s are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of salt, how the sensors on the door han-
dles operate may be affected. In this case,
clean the vehicle.
● If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic

The following message is displayed on the in-
strument
p

anel to remind the driver that
when the vehicle is closed from the outside,
the anti-theft security system is switched on.  Do not forget the Safelock.
Please see Instruction Manual . The
vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This
makes it more difficult for unauthorised per-
sons to break into the vehicle ››› in De-
s c
ription on p
